<br />Project Description
<br />The Project includes the construction of three new duplex buildings that would
<br />accommodate six 100% affordable, for -sale residential units. The front two duplex
<br />buildings (Units 1-4, closest to Washington Avenue) are designed with a similar floor
<br />plan and each contain the same square footage of approximately 1,859-square-feet (net
<br />floor area) for each unit. The rear duplex building (Units 5 & 6) will consist of 3,446
<br />square -feet of floor area. In total, all new floor area onsite will be 10,882 square -feet.
<br />Units 1-4 each will consist of three bedrooms, two and a half restrooms, a kitchen, living
<br />room, and in -unit laundry facilities. Unit 5 will consist of 1,165 square -feet with three
<br />bedrooms, two restrooms, a living room, a dining room, a kitchen, and a balcony. Unit 6
<br />will consist of one 1, 1 68-square-foot ADA compliant unit with three bedrooms, two
<br />restrooms, a dining room, living room, kitchen, and in -unit laundry facilities. Onsite there
<br />will be a total of 15 parking stalls, which consist of two garage stalls per unit (tandem
<br />spaces for Unit 5) and three guest surface spaces (one ADA compliant space). All six
<br />units are proposed to be affordable to low-income households earning less than 80%
<br />AMI, which is currently set at $129,000, adjusted for a four -person household size, as
<br />published by HCD.
<br />The Project architecture features a traditional farmhouse style. The overall design,
<br />massing, features, and materials of the new construction will be compatible with and
<br />complement the variation of styles within the neighborhood. The farmhouse
<br />architectural style would include exterior horizontal and vertical board siding, exterior
<br />wood finishes, vinyl frame hung windows, wood eave brackets, wood trellises,
<br />decorative light fixtures, an enhanced frontage -facing porch area for Unit 1, and porticos
<br />for the remaining units. Moreover, the structure is designed to fully screen all
<br />mechanical equipment with the inclusion of walls or enhanced landscaping screens.
<br />Overall, the Project will include a design and quality construction materials that will
<br />ensure that the Project ages well for the duration of the building's lifetime.
